During Will and Kate’s royal wedding, I was sleeping!I I didn’t watch it as they were getting married. I watched it over and over again. How can you not watch it? It was the fairy tale wedding. Originally that was my plan, to wake up early enough to watch, but that never happened. I remember Princess Diana getting married. It was definitely a beautiful moment in history.

Your twenties are A great time, but not without a few reality checks! So many incredible things happened to me, both good and bad. My twenties were memorable, but trying. For the first time in my life, I had to deal with death (my father passed away). Then I met my ex-husband and had Peter at 25. It was a very special, memorable time, but then he [my ex] went to jail.

My twenties were a time in my life where my bubble kind of burst. I suddenly woke up and said “Whoa, this is what life is about.” It grounded me.

When it comes to choosing Daniel Cleaver vs Mark Darcy, I haven’t watched it or read it! *Dramatic pause. Gentle chastising ensues and Echevarria promises to both read the book and see the movie* Hurrah!

The Real Housewives of Miami Reunion Part II airs Thursday, November 14th at 9pm on Bravo.

Echevarria, who is the executive editor of Venue Magazine, joined the rest of the girls for Joanna Krupa‘s infamous bachelorette ahead of the season finale. What transpired over those 24 hours in Vegas revealed another side of Hochstein viewers had never seen before.

“Lisa’s mentality was, ‘Ok, we’re in Vegas. This is what you’re supposed to,'” Echevarria told me. “I don’t agree with that or disagree. I pretty much behave the same way in any city, but I get it.

“I know how to have a good time, and I thought it was so ignorant when Lisa told me that I have no personality because I’m old,” she said.

“The thing with Lisa is that she likes to push your buttons. When you react, she gets defensive.”

No sleep + libations make for very on-edge housewives.

“We had started very early,” Echevarria added. “We went 24 hours without sleep, with each other. That really did it.”

One person’s attitude, however, pleasantly surprised Echevarria.

“I had a lot of fun with Lea. I saw a different side of her that I hadn’t seen yet on camera. I have seen that [off camera].

“I know Lea well enough to know that, and in Vegas I saw that side of her that I love, that she loves to have fun. I thought she was a team player; she went along with everything and didn’t complain about anything.

“Lea is Lea. I love the way she looks, how she puts herself together. You know what? She doesn’t give a shit, and thats what I really respect and love about her.”

Part I of The Real Housewives of Miami reunion airs tonight at 10pm EST on Bravo.
